Dancesport and Olympics

Since 1997 the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has officially recognized the dancesport as sport, with IDSF becoming an IOC Recognized International Sports Federation. The IDSF strongly pushes for the inclusion of dancesport as a medal sport in the Olympic Games. However the decision of the IOC is negative so far. It is in force only until the next Olympics and subject to reconsideration afterwards.
